This is dangerous talk. You know what they say about a cornered wounded animal. Surround Russia and China and they will really have an alliance. So far, they have shared some technology but the Russian have keep some of their most prized technology to themselves. With the moves you suggest, you will see a complete integration of both military&industrial complexes. Russian and Chinese scientist working hand and hand creating weapons pretty near as powerful as ours. China along with Russia would open up the purse strings. What I mean, China has enormous cash reserves which amount to nearly a trillion dollars, and Russia is one of the most solvent country having paid down a significant amount of their debts. SOMETHING WE SHOULD DO BY THE WAY.
We need to find away to see with better eyes on both side, Russia, China and the US, before we create the world that will proceed the next great war, and this time it really will be "The War to End All Wars". A war that will end in a Mushroom Cloud. What I am saying is that we need to see in historical terms. When the last World Wars occurred I am sure they wonder how they got there, and what you are talking about might be look back on ,assuming there is someone to do so, as open salvos of the last great war.

We know Russians don't trust China. Both fought a war during the cold war era over border disputes. Today, there are problems such as poluution down the river into Russia, and flood of illegal Chinese immigrants into Russia. This will add fuel onto the nationalism of Russia, and create tensions between the two. There is no proof, but during the Cold War, USSR asked US if USSR could nuke China without objections from US. Russia will probably sell weapons to China as they have done in the past, but not the most advanced weapons that could threat the shrinking Russian population. Russia will continue to be an unclaimed enemy, as well as China. These are dictatorships.
